'From the moment I open my eyes, I know it’s going to be a bad day. The room’s stifling hot; my head feels like a dwarf on speed’s dancing a jig on it; and the blood… Well, the blood’s everywhere.'

When ex-soldier Dan Tyler wakes up in a strange room on a bed covered in blood, with no idea how he got there, he thinks he's stepped into the middle of someone else's nightmare.
